Testimonials

Fantastic venue, activities, instructors the whole day!

Hi Horseshoe Lake
Just wanted to drop you a quick note – as frantically busy (as usual) but did not want to let this go by without acknowledgement. Sophie well not just Sophie all of her friends and family had a wonderful time on Sunday – probably the best party event we have organised – Believe me I have booked many from Laser quest, bowling, trampoline parties, you name it we have tried it!
Fantastic venue, activities, instructors the whole day!
Thank you!
We will be booking again – kids talked me into booking a Summer party so as soon as I have a date free I will be in touch!
Job well done folks which seems in this day and age is a very rare thing to say! Thanks again.

A Big Thank You

A big thank you to Pete and the team on Saturday for a great raft challenge. Everyone had a brilliant time and said it was the best company do yet!Thank you to you and Carl for helping us with the booking.Best RegardsVerity

Thanks again Dan and Ben

Thanks again Dan and Ben for a great couple of days canoeing and kayaking. We learnt a great deal and thoroughly enjoyed the experience despite the cold, ice and biting wind!

A Massive Thank you

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for a fantastic party you put on for my daughter yesterday.

All the children had a fantastic time, and the instructor was brilliant with all the children. He really went above and beyond to make sure they were all happy, and that my daughter still had a great time despite being on supposed "complete rest" after damaging her knee this week (it's not his fault she still just wanted to get involved and do pretty much everything!!!)

A brilliant party, excellent venue - so relaxed and enjoyable.

Such a lovely peaceful place - perfect for a party!

My son had his party here. It was an excellent day, the boys had so much fun raft building, paddle boarding and we finished with a BBQ over looking the lake; lots of very smiley faces. We had exclusive use of the facilities including the marquee which came in handy! Such a lovely peaceful place - perfect for a party! Many thanks to Ian, Alex and Charlie who made my sons party very special.

A really big thanks

A really big thanks to Ian and the staff for making my sons kayaking party a great success. The children had a brilliant time, raft building and playing in the lake too. The bar-b-q was a big hit as well. I would definitely recommend Horseshoe Lake for a children's party.

Thanks again Caroline.

So glad we booked it

We had my son's 10th birthday celebration here - a raft building and kayaking party. The kids all had such good fun and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. So glad we booked it

Birthday at Horseshoe

Yesterday we had my son Benjamin’s birthday party at Horseshoe Lake, and i just wanted to write so say a huge thank you for a brilliant party. I didn’t catch the name of the man who was organising it, but he was so good with the children and really made it fun for them. All of the children have been raving about what an excellent time they had and have expressed an interest in having their own parties there. So thank you all once again.
Kind regards,
Megan Dugmore.
